There was a challenge this month on a songwriters' forum to write a "fruit-based" song. I hope you get a kick out of Billy's zany musical take. If it doesn't get you grooving around the living room, you'd better check your pulse! ;)
(if one or two of the lines sound familiar, it's because they were used in another "fruity" song a couple of years ago. Luckily, I'm allowed to plagiarise myself. ;) )
Music/instruments/vocals: Billy Playle
Lyrics: Donna Devine
Plum Sexy
V1
Pizza and pasta were
Meals I liked most
Sometimes my dinner was
Pastrami on toast
Then I saw you at Safeway
Standing in line
Holding your string bag
Of lemons and limes
Pre-chorus
Now fruit's in season
And that's the reason
I'm hungry all the time
Chorus
You're plum sexy
A fruitarian dream
My strawberry cream
We get acrobatic
In ways nutritious
I'm a fruit fanatic
And you're delicious
V2
I love gazing into
Those kiwi-green eyes
Sliding my hand across
Your honey-dew thighs
[And] your melon-pink lips
Are such a treat
Can't get enough of you
I'm stoned on my peach
Pre-chorus
Fruit's in season
And that's the reason
I'm hungry all the time
Chorus
You're plum sexy
A fruitarian dream
My strawberry cream
We get acrobatic
In ways nutritious
I'm a fruit fanatic
And you're delicious
Bridge
You're my mango, my papaya
The girl I adore
The apple of my eye an'
I love you to the core
Pre-chorus
Fruit's in season
And that's the reason
I'm hungry all the time
Because...
Chorus
You're plum sexy
A fruitarian dream
My strawberry cream
We get acrobatic
In ways nutritious
I'm a fruit fanatic
And you're delicious
You're plum sexy...
You're plum sexy...

Billy and Donna, that is just utra, ultra cool! Can't remember the last time I enjoyed a track so much :)
Back in the day, I had the pleasure of playing with the Average White Band for a few gigs and this bought those memories flooding back. Superb!
Open your mind Luke ... feel the fruit!
